About Dævvskævv

No regard for genre or genre boundaries. Pop meets metal meets avant-garde meets whatever. As such, it’s a nightmare from a marketing standpoint,
as people need their music to fit squarely into neat, little categories that have been predefined for them - usually by marketing people.
Without the category-point-of-reference, people get totally lost and have no idea of how to relate to the music. Music cannot be enjoyed
or “understood” by people without prior instruction, without categorisation, or without a dumb tabloid review (the equivalent of the “how to”).

A well-established record label wouldn’t touch this stuff with a ten foot pole. Thankfully, we own our own record label and don’t have any
marketing people on staff. That’s what’s making releases from a project like Dævvskævv possible.

Who are Dævvskævv?

Exactly one year after the release of the electronically oriented and tape infused
Episode #3,
Dævvskævv are due to release the next part of their
episodic series of albums and/or EPs (pick your favorite word). The fourth episode,
simply named Episode Four, creates its own musical universe, fusing metal, pop,
electronica and the avant-garde, spread across its total of eleven tracks.

In addition to playing around with various genre crossbreeds,
Dævvskævv also play around with links to other
projects that the Dævvskævv’s members are a part of,
creating a link to the orchestral doom metal band Omit
with the re-composition and partial remix of Omit’s
recent track Medusa Truth, in the form of the
track entitled Maya Lie.

This is the third episode in Dævvskævv’s episodic series of releases, wherein each episode creates its own,
tiny musical universe. This is also Dævvskævv’s third release in the span of just one year.

Dævvskævv has been known to take pride in their motto of “no regard for genre or genre boundaries”,
and as such this episode certainly represents something different when compared to previous releases. As for genres contained in this one,
the range is perhaps narrower, with Dævvskævv focusing on electronic and synth based music, much of it
recorded to analog tape. One might sum it up as a meeting of electronica, dance music, the alternative and the avant-garde -
with a few orchestral elements thrown in for good measure.

No regard for genre or genre boundaries. Pop meets metal meets avant-garde meets whatever.
This time some chip music is also thrown in there for good measure.

Episode Two is the second (You don’t say?) release from this new and alternative project from
Cecilie Langlie (Havnatt, Omit, Skumring, Vagrant God) and Tom Simonsen
(Havnatt, It's the End, Omit, Skumring, Vagrant God). The accompanying artwork
gives you the second episode of the ダッブスカッブちゃん manga, chronicling the adventures of the Dævvskævv mascot character
and protagonist.

Episode One is the first release from this new and alternative project from
Cecilie Langlie (Havnatt, Omit, Skumring, Vagrant God)
and Tom Simonsen (Havnatt, It's the End, Omit, Skumring, Vagrant God).

With no regard for genre or genre boundaries, Cecilie and Tom write what ever they feel like for the
Dævvskævv project. Episode One provides
the first glimpse into what this actually means - with more episodes and glimpses to follow in the near future.
